Description Federico Mena Quintero 2002-05-20 21:09:46 UTC
GTK+ assumes that pressing Shift-Tab will produce an ISO_Left_Tab keysym. 
However, the xmodmap files provided with GKB do not do this.  So whenever
you switch keymaps, you cannot longer use Shift-Tab to change focus in GTK+
applications.
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2002-05-20 21:12:38 UTC
CCing the GTK+ people.  Maybe the GKB keymaps should issue
ISO_Left_Tab when you press Shift-Tab, but shouldn't GTK+ handle the
case where the generated keysym is Tab with state 1?

[Is there any sort of standard to X keymaps?]
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2002-05-20 21:21:55 UTC
Basically looks like a dup of bug 82412 to me.

(Though adding ISO_Left_Tab as <shift>Tab to the gkb keyboard
maps wouldn't hurt.)
Comment 3 Kevin Vandersloot 2002-05-21 00:59:31 UTC
CC'ing the gkb author.

Owen: Which bug? Indeed I agree that this bug is a duplicate of 
itsself ;)
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2002-05-21 16:46:09 UTC
bug 73423
Comment 5 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-05-01 03:43:00 UTC
Closing because we no longer use GKB.  Hooray.
